In other words, the dynamo (the natural process through which the sun produces its magnetic field) that was thought to depend on the tachocline also appears to create and maintain ...

Electrons in a magnetic field can display striking behaviors, from the formation of discrete energy levels to the quantum ...

The Earth’s magnetic field, a silent guardian against harmful solar radiation, has been behaving strangely in recent years.

The early Universe hosted ultra-weak magnetic fields that still shaped cosmic structures. New simulations establish stricter limits on their strength. Magnetic fields that originated during the earlie ...

We are in the midst of a new era in space exploration, one in which everyone from NASA to Elon Musk's SpaceX have expressed interest in the idea of sending humans to Mars and even establishing ...

See you on the flip side. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A reversal in Earth's magnetic field thousands of years ago plunged the ...
